Thank you for the advice, Ken. I'll try my best.
This lack of color management in most web browsers is a large gaping hole
waiting to be filled.
Why isn't the industry jumping on it? They *must* care about accurate color.
After all, major retailers depend on accurate color to guide and facilitate
sales of commercial items (clothing, etc.).
It's hard to believe that, though it's almost 2006, still no standards
bodies are being convened for managing color on the web.
But there's always hope...
